Suggestion: Steam should be an option in type-based rules

from Stardock Forums

Been waiting years for this to be implemented, and now with Fences on Steam it makes more sense than ever.

Steam shortcuts should be an option. I know we can set .url to be auto added, but why can't Fences look for "steam://rungameid/*" in the shortcut and add it to a Steam fence? Perhaps in the future Fences could even integrate with categories on Steam and auto-sort into Fences based on those.

I tried the rungameid and Fences basically moved ALL my icons into that folder. If I remove the folder, and try again, programs go into programs, but STEAM is ignored.

We need this resolved. NEED it. Why, Stardock, are you ignoring a fundamental need here? Do you just not care? Do you simply not know how?

What is the problem?

How do we get this sort to work? Please answer. This has been an issue since 2013 and Stardock did NOT fix it, did NOT provide a suggestion, Stardock just closed the issue. Same with the 2016 version.

 

This is from 2017 and not even an ACKNOWLEDGMENT.

 

I have a couple of folks asking about Fences as a solution and I recommended they look elsewhere as I am getting ready to uninstall it until this singular issue is resolved.

NOTHING. WORKS. FOR. STEAM. SHORTCUTS. ONLY. 

 

The Steam shortcuts are simply treated as URLS when they ARE NOT!!!!!

 

P.S. I have screen capped this so if it is removed, I will have a copy.

 

Please! don't lock it, answer it. Please answer. PLEASE ANSWER.
